Which code does this activity belong in?
Flat glass manufacturing covers establishments that melt silica sand or cullet to produce flat glass sheets, whether alone or in combination with laminated glass production. This code is distinguished from other pressed and blown glass manufacturing, which makes shaped or molded glass products rather than flat sheets. It also differs from glass product manufacturing made of purchased glass, which takes pre-made glass and applies finishing processes like coating or tempering, rather than melting raw materials to create the initial glass product.
